Abstract

Malaria is considered an epidemiological disease caused by protozoan of the genus Plasmodium and transmitted through the bite of the Anopheles mosquito. The Brazili an region with the highest incidence of malaria in Brazil is the Legal Amazon. This hi gh incidence is due to the ideal geographic conditions that enable interaction betwee n the hosts, the transmitter and vector causing malaria. In the Amazon, municipalities largely have a diverse culturally distributed population in urban, rural and villages wit hin the perimeter. of the municipalities. In this context in southern Amazonas, the mu nicipality of Manicoré has a high incidence of malaria cases, however the incidence d ata inserted in the SIVEP system are underused to identify priority groups that need i mmediate actions to fight the disease. Given this problem, this research aimed to ana lyze the epidemiological situation of Malaria in the municipality of Manicoré / Am from 2014 to 2017. From the survey of the incidence of malaria in rural, urban and indigen ous villages of the municipality of Manicoré in the period from 2014 to 2017; as well a s the incidence of malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax i n the population of rural, urban and indigenous villages from 2016 to 2017 and the rel ationship between Madeira River outflow and malaria incidence in the municipality of Manicoré. The results show that the total number of cases of malaria in the years fro m 2014 to 2017 is considered low when compared to other municipalities of Amazon as. Moreover, rural residents are the most affected by this disease, being the type of Plasmodium that most affects the population of the municipality of Manicoré P. vivax. River level and malaria positivity may be related to extreme flood or drought events. Keywords: Malaria, epidemiology, Malaria incidence
